And the man behind Palantir — the company accused of helping governments see everything. This is the disturbing story of how Alex Karp went from philosophy and politics to building software for spies, soldiers, police, and billion-dollar institutions — and how Palantir became one of the most controversial companies in the world. #AlexKarp #Palantir #Surveillance #SiliconValley #Biography P64oIHmVm7H w2MLnZ4L4dD bVq2W6Xu36m xA4AxoMMQUY y6Ha3kdMXhA 2AparBuPXWB
